Li Liangzuo led 5,000 Xia cavalry to leave Bianliang, the army repaired in the city for one night, the next morning Li Liangzuo fire bucket 50,000 Xia soldiers of the southern expedition embarked on the road to the north, Li Liangzuo led the Xia army to cross the Yellow River in Huazhou, in order to speed up the march of the army rushed to Liyang in two ways, in Liyang Li Liangzuo had already prepared a large number of ships, most of these ships were from the Central Plains cities and from the Eastern Liao army seized wealth, all kinds of materials together there were nearly 300 trough ships, And that's just some of them, and a lot of supplies have already been transported north through the Grand Canal.
In order to protect the supplies, the army followed the Cao transport fleet north along both sides of the canal, and all the official warehouses and treasury of the city were not spared by the Xia army, and the entire queue of the Xia army stretched for more than 100 miles and was very vulnerable to attack, and Li Liangzuo was sitting on the boat at this time and followed the entire fleet to slowly go north.
Li Yanze came to Li Liangzuo's side and said: "General Li Yi reported that the old general Jila is leading a 100,000-strong army to the south to respond, and the rest of the 150,000-strong army is led by General Li Yi and stationed in the Xijin Prefecture area. ” "Where is Yelu Nerugu's Eastern Liao Army now," Li Liangzuo asked Li Yanze.
"Your Majesty, Yelu Nerugu is now in Hejian Province, because the road to the north of Yelu Nerugu has been cut off by our army, and he is currently shrinking all his troops in the city of Hejian Province, it seems that he is planning to defend to the death."
Li Yanze reported to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo sneered and said, "Since that's the case, then let him die there."
"Order, the army marched to the vicinity of Hejian Mansion and turned around, and at the same time ordered Ji La Siyi to lead the army to Hejian Mansion to join the army."
Li Liangzuo immediately issued a military order.
"Yes, Your Majesty, what about the fleet, this fleet is transporting so many supplies, will it be robbed without the protection of the army?"
Li Yanze said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo laughed and said, "I'm afraid no one in this world dares to snatch something from Zhongzhen's hands." ” At this time, Li Liangzuo can be said to have fought all over the world invincible, whether it is Liao or Song, they are trembling under the obscenity of the Xia army, not to mention other small forces, victory brings Li Liangzuo more than just money, fame and women; And it also brought Li Liangzuo incomparable self-confidence, Li Liangzuo's heart is constantly expanding, behind the inflated self-confidence, what brings Li Liangzuo is arrogance, arrogance and empty eyes, of course, Li Liangzuo now has the strength to despise everything.
After three days of marching, the army began to leave the Grand Canal and turned westward, and within one day the elite of the 50,000 Xia army led by Li Liangzuo rushed to the city of Hejian Mansion, which was originally occupied by Li Yi, and as Li Yi led the army north to stay in Hejian Mansion, the troops were scarce and only more than 1,000 people, and as a result, when Yelu Nerugu returned to the north, Hejian Mansion faced 30,000 Eastern Liao troops and was easily lost, and Hejian Mansion fell into the hands of Yelu Nerugu again.
When Li Liangzuo led 50,000 elite Xia troops to the city of Hejian Mansion, the veteran general of the Xia army, Ji La Siyi, did not lead 100,000 Hetao troops to surround the entire Hejian Mansion, Ji La Siyi set up three large camps outside the city of Hejian Mansion, one of the largest camps was prepared for Li Liangzuo; In addition, Yelu Nerugu had long expected that Li Liangzuo would not let him go, so after reoccupying Hejian Mansion, he began to vigorously build the city wall, and also plundered grain and grass from all sides, preparing to resist stubbornly here.
Outside the city of Hejian Mansion, at the gate of the camp of the Xia army, Ji La Siyi led the whole army to wait for Li Liangzuo's arrival, Li Langzuo rode the black wind and slowly approached, after Li Liangzuo dismounted, Ji La Siyi immediately led the army to Li Langzuo and said: "The old minister Ji La Siyi to meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The soldiers behind the follower Ji Spicy Siyi shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Li Liangzuo was very happy, walked up to Ji La Siyi and said: "The old general, please get up, and all the brothers should also get up."
"Your Majesty" Ji La Siyi said to Li Liangzuo: "Please Your Majesty get on the horse and review the officers and men of the three armies of the Hetao Army." ” Li Liangzuo smiled and turned over his horse, accompanied by Ji La Siyi, began to review the three armies of the Hetao Army, originally according to the previous establishment of the Hetao Army was only 50,000 people, but as the war progressed and then Li Liangzuo's approval, the Hetao Army expanded the army vigorously, and now the Hetao Army has 100,000 troops, this army is basically formed by Ji La Siyi, since Li Langzuo did not really take power, Ji La Siyi has already led this army, and it has been more than 20 years now.
It can be said that the Hetao Army has been deeply branded with spicy thinking.
Li Liangzuo rode on his horse and waved to the soldiers: "Brothers, have worked hard. ” "Serve Your Majesty," the soldiers replied in unison.
After reviewing the officers and soldiers of the three armies, Ji La Siyi followed Li Liangzuo to the camp, at this time the Xia army had gathered 150,000 troops outside the city of Hejian Province, and the generals and leading officers at all levels gathered together in the big tent of the Chinese army; Li Liangzuo sat on the dragon chair and said to the soldiers: "Generals, this is our last battle in the Great Song Dynasty, this battle will undoubtedly be won by our army, after this battle, the eastward goal of our Great Xia Kingdom has been basically completed, after this battle, the brothers can go home to accompany their wives and children to rest for two days." ” "Hahahaha," the generals laughed.
Li Liangzuo then asked Jila Siyi: "Jila old general, what do you think of this battle?"
Ji La Siyi reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, our army occupies an absolute advantage in this battle, and the victory ultimately belongs to us, there is no doubt about it, the old minister thinks that our army is not easy to lose too much in this battle, and should achieve a comprehensive victory in this battle at the lowest cost." ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "The old general is reasonable."
Before Li Liangzuo's words fell, a herald ran in and said: "Report, report, report Your Majesty, Wang Shao, the commander of the Song army outside the camp, and the seed master Dao ask to see you." ” Li Liangzuo complained and said: "These two guys are really ghostly, they have come here from Bianliang, and told them that I am discussing the army and I don't have time to see them." ” "Your Majesty is slow, the old minister thinks it's better to meet."
Ji Spicy Siyi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo asked Ji La Siyi a little blindfolded: "It's okay, what are you doing when you see them, these Song generals will only play tricks all day long." ” Ji La Siyi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, whether our army can reduce casualties depends on the two generals, the Song army has followed Your Majesty from Bianliang to here, won't it be just these two people?"
"What the old general means" Li Liangzuo suddenly realized and immediately ordered; "Herald, let them in" Wang Shao and Seed Master Dao entered Li Liangzuo's Chinese army tent in this way, and all the generals of the Xia army looked at the two of them with fierce eyes, Wang Shao saluted Li Liangzuo and said: "The foreign minister came here this time because of an important matter to discuss with His Majesty. ” Asking for support, asking for votes, please:
